It has to be the thermostat.

I know it’s a mission - I think I would be taking it out and making doubly sure it is the correct one and fitted properly. It is possible to fit it the wrong way around? You did say you weren't happy with it not being as snug.

Not saying you haven't fitted it properly Lambert, just thinking about 2 years back when I had to have three goes at getting my daughters mk4 golf replacement thermostat to seat properly so it would hold temp. Thankfully it was easily accessible but was a real head-scratcher for me. First time I have had trouble doing a thermostat.

Good luck.

The more I have used it today the more and more I have been thinking it's behaviour is like it doesn't have a thermostat. Except i know for a fact that I put one in. I have a genuine one to collect tomorrow, after that it's getting a box of matches and a gallon of petrol!

Don't get frustrated mate, you'll find the solution without the need for pyro......

I'm having a mare with silly suspension problems, just enough to spoil my enjoyment but not enough to stop use.

Very frustrating...

Sorry. It's just I'm irritated that I couldn't find an obvious cause for the initial problem and I'm exasperated at it having essentially being reworked entirely and still being wrong and vexed that it's taken nearly a week of my time to only get this far.

Just for my sanity does anyone have a route map of the m13a cooling system showing what goes where and in which direction and so on? Because if the genuine thermostat doesn't fix it I'm taking the whole circuit In bits and flushing each element separately cos I'm out of options. It shouldn't be this difficult!
